' IT the same time, the Japs S launched an air attack on the co-operating British fleet, in tho southern Ryukyus, apparently damaging the battleship King George V. AUR naval authorities guess that J the Japs might have been trying a double play whose chief purpose may have been getting their shrinking licet out of the dangerous inland sea, with the secondary purpose of taking a hit-and-run swipe at our naval forces around Okinawa. All the enemy vessels engaged were FAST, so they could run away speedily after hitting. THERE is an interesting little mystery in-tho Pacific news. The Japs flew about 20 big, slow, OBSOLETE bombers into the fight sluggish "Marys," not seen since the early days of the war arousing the suspicion on our part that they may be getting danger susly short of planes. We shot 12 t the 20 In no time flat. ON Okinawa, heavier resistance is developing as we near Naha. We're still finding very few Japs in our push northward from the island's center. WE pulled a freak assault the other day, taking Lucena, in southern Luzon, with PULDLE JUMPER observation planes which we flew into Lueena's two Airfields. Our men piled out of the little grasshoppers and took the town. lE'VE bombed the Hong Kong area for the third straight day dropping 164 tons not much In Europe, but a fair day's bomb ing in the Pacific. Three hundred of our Super forts, ESCORTED BY FIGHT KRS FROM IWO, hit Tokyo again. SUZUKI seems to have cobbled together a new Jap cabinet. He appointed himself foreign minister and Greater East Asia minister (he's already premier). The Jobs he gave himself are the ones that would be involved in future PEACE moves. Ho kept the former navy min ister (who has now been given three bad lickings by our fleet) nnd named an airman war minis ter. Both his navy and war min isters are said to have the blessing of the Jap war clique. THERE Is still nothing much new In the European situation. We're killing and capturing Ger mans at a great rate--especially capturing them. We took 150,73 )risoners in the first five days of April. The Germans aren't as good as the Japs at dying to 1 ho last man, as Hitler orders them to do. THE British are 12 miles rrom Bremen and 60 from Ham burg. The Canadians are within a dozen miles of cutting oft all of western Holland. We're over the Weser In the south, but haven't yet reached the Elbe. The Germans are still talking about our alleged airborne land ing at Elsleben, within !)0 miles of Berlin, but our side has nothing to say. The censorship is still pretty tight. It Is probable that wo have been outrunning our supplies and have to wait for them to eateh up. THERE is bitter house-to-house fighting in Vienna, but Mos cow dispatches indicate that the Russians think they have the sit- HOW PAPER TRAVELS By Charles A little sidelight on how is given by Mrs. H. S. Cheek, Melrose Rt., Roseburg, who reports receiving a pair of wooden shoes; sent from Bel gium by. her son, Hillburn L. with the 8th air force, who, incidentally, was recently awarded the second oakleaf cluster for his Air Medal. The shoes were shipped to Mrs. Cheek in a cardboard box, which previously had been used to San Antonio, Texas. The sabots were wrapped in paper originally used by a friend in gift to Sergeant Cheek. A cardboard box from San paper from Portland, a pair of wooden shoes from Belgium nil reached a common place upon a battlefield in Europe and journeyed together to Roseburg. Soon, we expect, the box, and the wrapping paper will again be on their way, either to convey a gift to the war, through contribution to the waste paper drive. This newspaper you now hold in your hands, we hope, soon will either be a part of a protective band around a bomb, a part of a casing for an artillery shell, or serving as a part of a box of the type used in protecting blood plasma, medical supplies, food rations, etc., during shipment. ; If we all realized that it would be impossible to wage modern war for more than a few hours without paper, we would not be forced to plead for cooperation in waste paper salvage efforts. Paper can be used over and over again. Like the box and piece of wrapping paper, which already have crossed the Atlantic ocean twice, paper can be converted into many forms and uses and can make many trips to and from the front. Boys and girls of Roseburg High school will be engaged Thursday and Friday in a city-wide paper collection drive. School officials have requested cooperation of every resi dent. You are asked to bundle magazines, newspapers and, card board separately. Most of all, you are asked to tie bundles so they will withstand rough handling. They will be tossed into the trucks. They will be transported to a loading sta tion where they will be passed out of the trucks and loaded into freight cars. Collectors cannot be expected to handle each bundle gently. They will be working at high speed to get the drive over with as soon as possible. So please be sure that every bundle is tightly tied with stout cord. If you pack loose paper into cardboard cartons, it should be pressed down tightly. Use only strong cartons that will not break open. Have them securely bound. All paper for collection should be put on front porches exposed to view from the street and should be in place by 9 a. m. Thursday. Trucks will not retrace their routes. Douglas county has been very laggard in its participa tion in salvage campaigns. We stand near the bottom of the' list in per capita shipments of paper and tin. We 'do not believe this is because of any unwillingness on tho part of our people to cooperate. The fault lies in lack of man power and organization and instruction, difficulties of transportation and storage, etc. In many localities organizations have now been formed, receiving stations constructed, transportation schedules ar ranged, so that systematic, orderly collections are made at regular intervals. This is the ideal system. But we have not been able to organize Douglas county's large area as a whole oh this basis. Our collections have been largely hit-or-miss, depending principally upon the labor of boys and girls in our schools. This makes it all the more imperative that we give our fullest all-out support to these periodic drives. nation there well in hand. Mos cow says thttt If the Germans don't get out of the city soon they'll be surrounded,. The Germans say the Russians are ALREADY 30 MILES WEST OF VIENNA, following main line railroads and highways up the Danube. That, It true. Is extemem ly Interesting, indicating that the reds are pushing right on up the Danube valley to cut the Germans oft from the Hitler hideout In the southern mountains. T'io flurry In Italy doesn't amount to muchyet. ANEW decree has been Issued by Hitler, ordering nazi party leaders to give up their local political jobs. London interprets the decree as a scheme to enable the nazi leaders to get out, leaving the non nazls holding the bai also as (he foundation for a propa- Kmm ciaun in (ho future that it was the German civilians who sur rendered shamefully while the nazls carried on the holv war single-handed.

This Is the largest potential supply of limestone available for several years, points out John .Shepherd of Scio, member of the state committee. Last year ap proximately 25,000 tons of lime was applied to Oregon farmlands under the program. Limestone. Is distributed through county AAA committees as conservation materials in lieu of payments earned tinder the conservation practice program.

BY J- R- WILLIAMS DIAL:LO.Q By SUSAN Most of our attention is direct ed toward tomorrow night, which, after being in the doldrums, for some time, has suddenly taken a new lease on Hie and is current ly oroducing some of the best en tertainment of the week. Stealing the spotlight for tomorrow night is' the premiere of a new dramatic r .:...!. i a u -ii i:.- sci ICS, wi iiieu uy rticu wuuici and producing an original drama each Wednesday night at S:30. Tonight's production is "Strange Morning , a propnetic play ueai ing with the collapse of Germany. We might add that Mr. Oboler lias a reputation second to none as a writer and you are sure of top-drawer entertainment each Wednesday night at 9:30. Brown- stone Theatre at 6:30 presents "If I Were King", a Broadway hit of the early 19tXls. Our old favor ite, Main Line, at 8 and the new Krosh Up Time at 8:30. We just got in on a short snatch of the premiere last week, but the stu dio audience seemed to be suffer ing from a more or less mild case of hysteria, so we would judge that the show was uproariously funny. , However, all of Xhesc shows are scheduled for tomor row night. For tonight look for Music You Remember at 6:30, A Date With Annaloris at 8:15, Re cital Hall of the Air at S:30 and Shins of War at 8:45: so don't wait until tomorrow night to tune l'lyo.

Jackson Zinc Clears Trees Of "Little Leaf" Methods of applying zinc for the prevention and control of so called "little leai" are described in a revision of a former exten sion circular now issued as cir cular No. 454. The recommenda tions made in the circular by O. T. McWhorter, extension horti culturist, are the results of ex tensive experiments carried en principally in Wasco county, where little leaf has pecurred in cherry, peach, apricot, prune, pear, and apple orchards. - The zino may be applied to trees as a sray about 30 days after leaves appear, 'or, pieteraoiy, Dy driving zinc tacks into the trunks of the trees, except in the case of very young or aged trees. Use of the zinc tacks or. zinc-coated shingle nails Is preferred over tne soraving method as the effect lasts' for several years. Spraying; must be done annually. Where foliage spray is usea, a combination zinc and boron so lution has been found more effec tive than a plain zinc sulphate spray, although there is danger of foliage Burn u rains occui soon alter tne application.
